[ There's a rustle of what sounds like a plastic bag and then the sound of someone muttering under his breath. ]

Considering how the City's population usually doesn't double over night, I'm assuming this is another curse?

Yusuf?

Oh thank goodness, it is you. I've seen about seventy men who look exactly like Cobb wandering around this place, and at least a half-dozen who look like you.

[windsorknot]

I've met the former. The latter is new, though. Just how do they look like me, exactly?

voice;

[formulatum]

[ And Yusuf sounds very, very concerned by this. ]

voice;

[windsorknot]

[ Yusuf pauses for a moment, because he's not sure what to make of this. ]

What is it?

voice;

[windsorknot]

People here can come from different points in time in relation to others from their own world.

voice;

[formulatum]

Ah. So at exactly which point in time are you three coming from?

Yusuf?

You're really Yusuf right? Not... [ Trying to find words here... ] A twin.
